Feature Benefit
Jam-Resistant Top Drop-In
Bobbin System
This mechanism incorporates a magnet-type vertical axis rotating hook
that ensures smooth, quiet, thread jam-resistant sewing. The bobbin
case floats above the hook, precluding thread jams. The bobbin loads
from the top, so it is easy to insert the bobbin. The clear cover makes it
convenient to monitor the bobbin thread supply.
Electronic Auto Pilot
Unplug the foot control, press the Start button and the machine sews.
You are still in complete control over the speed - just slide the Speed
Control Lever to the desired speed.
Heavy Duty Metal Frame The internal rigid support holds all the mechanisms in perfect alignment
for skip-free sewing and overall durability.
Horizontal Threading
Quality stitches begin with proper thread delivery. Placing the thread
spool in the horizontal position allows for the thread to feed more
evenly, reducing poor stitch formation and thread breakage. The
included auxiliary spool pin may be used when twin needle sewing.
Center Zigzag Taper
When tapering with the zigzag stitch, the stitch tapers to the center, not
the left or right. This feature is especially valuable when
appliquéing, because it provides a more attractive look when tapering
into or out from a point.
Automatic Presser Foot
Pressure Control
The amount of pressure exerted on the fabric by the presser foot
against the feed dogs is adjusted automatically. Sew from the lightest
weight tricots to the heaviest denim, without making adjustments.
Automatic Tension This system ensures stable stitch quality regardless of fabric type.
Automatic Locking
Stitch Function
Tie-off decorative and utility stitches with just a push of the Auto Lock
button. Three tiny tacking stitches reinforce patterns and stitches to
prevent unraveling.

Feature Benefit
Extra-High
Presser Foot Lifter Advantageous when placing multiple layers or bulky fabric under the presser foot.
7-Segment Feeding System
This is a specially designed feed system that ensures that the fabric is
picked up and supported from the front of the presser foot to the rear.
This provides for much more accurate feeding of the fabric.
Box Feed
This is a function that moves the feed dogs in a box motion, rather than
the historic arc motion. Box motion assures perfect feeding throughout
the entire feed process, as the feed dogs are always in perfect and
equal contact with the fabric and presser foot.
Automatic Bobbin Winding
Follow the numbered diagram printed on the sewing machine and your
bobbin is full in no time! The needle bar automatically disengages when
winding the bobbin, making bobbin winding safer because the needle
won’t move up and down. The bobbin will automatically stop turning
when the bobbin is completely filled. Never worry about overfilling a
bobbin again.
Optimum Power Control
A control system that senses when additional power is required to
maintain speed through thick or changing fabric conditions. This feature
is most useful when sewing through multiple (6-8) layers of fabric.
DC Motor Provides instant start and stop with no coasting, for accurate and
precise stitch placement.
Warranty Limited 25-year warranty including 5-year electronic components and
1-year adjustments
